Talk:Module (musician)

Importance of this article
all the info in the article is true and verifiable, I'll log in and clean it up and provide sources etc, and maybe even some images from my vast collection of nz music, but in the meantime leave it alone will ya... unless you wanna clean it up yoursleves, the infor is all on line so why bother with a tag, that just makes more work for more people... never could understand that.. moza
 * I'll come back and add refs and clean up the pageto wiki standards. no-one else seems interested! This article is about one of our finest musicians, please help if you can..moza (talk) 15:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Chill mate, it's just a standard template, possibly put there by a bot. I agree that Module is awesome, and I understand the requirements for Wikipedia articles can be frustrating. But it is important that Wikipedians ask for "secondary sources", in this case articles from popular music magazines for example, so that people don't insert hoax pages about fake artists into Wikipedia. If an editor isn't from NZ, and hasn't heard of Module, how would they know whether he's real or a hoax? Same with any kiwi artists who isn't world famous (in the USA ;). http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2007/love-affair-with-wellington/Danylstrype (talk) 14:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

 * It would be good to use some of these in the article. I very nearly tagged the article for deletion before I saw these. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:16, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Discography incomplete
Module has a number of albums that are not currently on the page: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/18a3d248-b26d-480e-9a7a-16f65d693289/. Does Musicbrainz.org count as a "secondary source" for Wikipedia purposes? If not, are there any online discography sites that do? Danylstrype (talk) 14:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You can typically check whether a source is reliable by searching the archives of WP:RSN and in the case of music articles, checking WikiProject Albums/Sources. MusicBrainz is user-submitted, and even though the edits are supposed to go through a round of vetting, it doesn't have the credibility or editorial control of a reliable, secondary source. Sometimes its content is taken directly from Wikipedia (which is also user-submitted and unreliable) or from other unreliable sources (e.g., Amazon listings) without any proof required for reference. Personally, I would say that MusicBrainz is likely the best music database on the Internet for album/track lookup, and while it's likely that those unlisted albums are real, they could potentially be hoaxes, especially if they don't have associated DiscIDs, etc. Best would be to find a reliable source that has mentioned each release (which can be cited as reference) or otherwise to find a feasible primary source (such as the artist/label/producer's website), which mentions the release. But a secondary, reliable source is, of course, preferred for its editorial control. Eye close font awesome.svg czar  13:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

CreativeCommons experiments
In 2006, Module used uploaded a track to the ccMixter site, licensed CC-BY-NC, and in 2008, he uploaded another track there, also using a CC-BY-NC license. The notes for this second track mention a live album called Pattern Dot Life, released under a CC-BY license, and intended as the starting point for an experimental, collaborative remix project. Phase one was declared over mid-2009, sometime between May and June.

I'm sure I remember there being articles in the music press about this experiment at the time, I will keep searching. Danylstrype (talk) 14:37, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
